Can commit suicide, so there must be a murderer, Yun Xi and Qiu Yi are well aware of this.

Qiu Yidao: "It's Duanchang powder, a relatively common poison. Some farmers use this medicine to kill rats."

Yun Xi frowned, and said, "I've never heard of rats in the palace."

Qiu Yi nodded, although it was not suitable, he still couldn't help but praise An Lehou in his heart, and said: "Banchang powder is common among the people, but it is not very used in the palace, so it is okay to ask the emperor to order a search of the palace."

"As for the other witnesses, Dali Temple has not yet found them. There are a few other places I haven't figured out yet. Chen Guiren's finger has a fresh wound that was bandaged, which is a bite mark. Her hands and feet have been tied, and there is a There are bruises, there are only slap marks on the cheeks, some heartbroken powder on the lips, but only on the lips..."

Yun Xi said: "When I saw her, she was not tied up."

Qiu Yi continued: "So the whereabouts of the rope is also very important."

Everyone in the palace thought that if Fang Ruo was the murderer who murdered Chen Guiren, Concubine Zhou Hui must be the mastermind, but on Qiu Yi's side, even if Fang Ruo pleaded guilty, all the evidence had to be verified.And Yunxi wants to find evidence to help the sixth prince bring the murderer to justice, so he and Qiu Yi coincidentally agree.

In addition, Yun Xi also had a question in her heart, and she couldn't bring it up to Qiu Yi. He had obviously taken care of someone in the side hall of Chuxiu Palace, so how could it happen that no one happened to be there when Chen Guiren had an accident?

He asked Wang Xiaohuan in private, and Wang Xiaohuan said, because it was the Lantern Festival, Mrs. Chen gave the waiters a holiday. If he hadn't insisted, he would have been sent to watch the lanterns...

Now that the matter has come to an end, it is useless to blame those people, after all, it is impossible to guard against, who would know in advance that on this day, someone is going to attack Chen Guiren?

Qiu Yi submitted the interrogation certificates for several days in a row, and Mu Ziyue asked for a palace search. The evidence accumulated in his hand became more and more... Five days later, Qiu Yi came to Mu Ziyue with a solemn expression. This time the murder case involved the royal family. , The clan concubines also came to the scene.

Mu Ziyue said: "Qiu Yi, have you found out the truth?"

"Yes." Qiu Yi cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, after searching the palace, only found the poison Duanchang powder that killed Chen Guiren in Yongshou Palace. The rope that bound Chen Guiren was also salvaged from the lake near Chuxiu Palace. It came out, and it matched the strangle marks on Chen Guiren's hands and feet. The two palace servants who were with Fangruo had admitted that this rope was what they brought to Chuxiu Palace that day, and it was also used when they imprisoned Chen Guiren. During Chen Guiren's time, Fang Ruo took the opportunity to sneak into the inner room and poisoned the fruit wine, and later, Chen Guiren drank the wine and died."

Mu Ziyue was startled: "You mean, the poisonous wine that Chen Guiren drank himself?"

Fangruo was tall and powerful, and he thought that the Chen family was probably directly poured with poison.

Qiu Yi explained: "Generally, people are bound by poison, and they will definitely struggle halfway through. There is no trace of being restrained on her face, and only a little poison was on her lips, and no other places were splashed. Forcibly pouring medicine is impossible. , so she should have drunk it by herself. I found out that Chen Guiren was often reprimanded and scolded, and she never thought about it. She shouldn't commit suicide, that is, she drank the wine in the jug without knowing it was poisonous."

With disheveled hair, Mrs. Zhou knelt aside for a while, crying, "Your Majesty, look, Mr. Qiu said that Mrs. Chen drank it herself...it has nothing to do with Fangruo, and it has nothing to do with my concubines!"

Since Zhou was detained in Yongshou Palace, when he was released again, his mood was not stable.Her two princes, the seventh prince Mu Chengpei hadn't recovered from the shock in the past few days, and the third prince Mu Chengluo couldn't bear it, but he didn't dare to go forward because he was afraid of getting burned.They all tried to visit the Zhou family in Yongshou Palace, but under the order of the emperor, Yongshou Palace was surrounded by guards, and even the two princes could not enter.

Qiu Yi said: "Zhou... Your Majesty."

He originally wanted to call Concubine Zhou Hui, but remembering that the Zhou family had no position at this moment, he abruptly changed his words halfway, and said, "Could it be that Miss Zhou forgot that although Mrs. Chen drank it herself, the poison in the wine is Fang Ruo put it by herself, and I found a stain wet with fruit wine on the cuff of Fang Ruo's clothes."

"What is that!" Mu Chengpei couldn't help complaining for Zhou Shi: "Isn't fruit wine everywhere?!"

Qiu Yi glanced at the Seventh Prince, and said, "There is Broken Heart Powder over there."

If it is just ordinary fruit wine, there may indeed be a coincidence.But the fruit wine containing Duanchang Powder is only available in the side hall of Chuxiu Palace!

"And His Highness Seventh..." Qiu Yi said sarcastically, "Why did you go to His Highness Six and Marquis An Le that day?"

"Qiu Yi, why did you say such a thing!" Mu Chengpei was furious, because he suspected that he was going to put the poisoner on the back burner?

"It's nothing." Qiu Yi pursed her lips, "I just think that it's a coincidence that Chen Guiren had an accident just after His Royal Highness Seventh Prince went to trouble An Lehou."

"I didn't!" Mu Chengpei argued anxiously. He really hated the sixth prince to death, but he didn't really want anyone's life.

Yun Xi led Mu Chengze to the side, heard the words and said indifferently: "Your Highness the Seventh Prince did come to see us. The two cousins ​​of the minister and Prince Jing's mansion, His Highness the Sixth Highness, and the palace attendants who were present at that time can all testify .”

"An Lehou!" Mu Chengpei said bitterly, "I just want to humiliate you with the Bird Lantern, that's all!"

Mu Ziyue glared at the Seventh Prince: "Cheng Pei, shut up! Don't embarrass me here!"

Mu Chengluo's eyes darkened, and he hurriedly pulled Mu Chengpei aside.

Yun Xi knew that Mu Ziyue didn't want any prince to be involved, so she didn't say anything else.

Concubine Xu Huanggui had been pondering what Qiu Yi said, and at this moment she said in a puzzled way: "Lord Qiu, I feel that putting poison in wine, but not directly feeding people to drink, isn't it superfluous? It's a matter of human life, or We have to find out, we must not wrong sister Zhou and the others."

Qiu Yi calmly said: "The Duanchang powder in Yongshou Palace is in the form of powdered medicine, which is easier to swallow when dissolved in wine. Fangruo may not only want to harm Mrs. Chen, but the poisoned wine in the jug may also be poisoned by other people, such as His Highness the Sixth Highness." She knows how to drink. She had planned well and found an opportunity when no one was around, but she didn't expect Wang Xiaohuan to walk fast, and he happened to bump into him when she was leaving. I noticed that the skirt was cut by branches, and the sleeves were accidentally stained with poisoned wine."

Muzi pondered for a moment, and said: "Since Fang Ruo poisoned the Chen family, that means Fang Ruo poisoned the Chen family?"

Qiu Yidao: "The witnesses and the physical evidence are convincing."

Qiu Yi presented everyone's confession again, Mu Ziyue read it briefly, and said, "How did you find out what happened to the Zhou family back then?"

Qiu Yi shook his head and said: "Fang Ruo might know about it, but she refuses to say it. I searched the Yongshou Palace to no avail. It is expected that the time will be long, and even the most favorable evidence will be wiped out."

After Mu Ziyue calmed down, he expected it to be the same, and said: "Everyone says that Mrs. Zhou is suspicious, but you are the only one who seeks the truth. It's really a great Chu luck. I am very relieved."

Qiu Yi smiled and said: "Although I didn't find anything in this matter, I found something else in Yongshou Palace, which makes me very curious."

Mu Ziyue said, "What is it?"

Qiu Yi took out something from his sleeve and presented it.

"This is another package of medicinal powder besides Duanchang powder. I have checked it with the imperial physicians of the imperial hospital, and they all said that this medicine is very poisonous. Eating it can slowly destroy a person's appearance. Even silver needles can't be tested. , so this medicine has an elegant name, it is called Hongyanjie. It means that no matter how good the appearance is, it will be doomed if it is touched by this medicine."

The more Mu Zi could not believe it, Duanchang San and Hongyan Jie, a murder case actually involved two kinds of poisons for him.

"How is it possible, isn't this thing already..." Zhou Shi was taken aback for a moment, but when he recovered, he jumped up recklessly, trying to pinch Qiu Yi's neck, "I have no grievances with you, why did you frame me! !"

Qiu Yi didn't expect her temperament to change suddenly, she was quite surprised, and almost got scratched by her nails.Yun Xi reacted very quickly, and gently pushed Qiu Yi away with a palm, and quickly kicked Zhou's knee, forcing her to fall back to the ground.

"Ms. Zhou, I just didn't say that this beauty robbery is related to you." Qiu Yi looked down at her expressionlessly.

"Impossible! Fang Ruo was imprisoned by you, and you found some heart-broken beauty in my Yongshou Palace. You clearly want to slander me!" Zhou yelled frantically, with blue veins on her forehead bulging, and she was glamorous and noble in the past. His face was rendered hideous.

"Tell me! Are you sent by that bitch of the Chen family to drive a wedge between me and the emperor!"

The more Muzi saw her, the more outrageous her words became, and he reprimanded: "Mr. Zhou, calm down!"

It seemed that Zhou didn't even listen to the emperor's words. After scolding Qiu Yi for a while, he suddenly shrank into a ball with his head in his arms, and couldn't stop saying: "It's not me, it's not me, it has nothing to do with me!!"

The hearts of all the people present were beating. Zhou Shi didn't look quite right, but she always changed her face faster than turning the pages of a book, and the emperor liked her. Who knows if she is pretending to be weak and deliberate How about acting for the emperor?

"Your Majesty." The Imperial Physician Xu came out at the right time, "I have looked through the past few days and found that the illness suffered by the concubine Defei was very similar to that of the concubine's medicine. The imperial hospital has not found the cause... ..."

Mu Ziyue looked at Zhou's almost crazy appearance, and following the words of Imperial Physician Xu, he also thought of the Concubine De who described a great change when the Seventh Prince was born and had a great time with the Seventh Prince of Zhou.

Doctor Xu's words made him have to think about it.In fact, he doesn't have any feelings for Concubine De. After learning that her appearance is completely ruined, it is very likely that it is not
